Drytek

Drytek fabric has a "natural" ability to not absorb moisture which, combined with the high surface tension of the fibres themselves, produces a moisture-wicking effect. When worn, these clothing items do not inhibit the evaporation of sweat. On the contrary, they promote dispersal via a spontaneous process of body heat control which allows the body to maintain its correct thermal balance.

Thanks to its superb insulation properties, Drytek stabilises and maintains a constant body temperature in high or low outside temperatures. Its thermal insulating properties are unique and create a breathable barrier which transfers moisture to the outside. This in turn promotes a perfect microclimate in which the skin remains dry and cool.

Strong, compact and resistant in any conditions, Drytek passes the strictest testing for friction and abrasion resistance. Its initial specifications (size, colour, fabric quality) remain unaltered even after many washing cycles. Its bacteriostatic properties prevent the formation of unpleasant odours caused by a proliferation of bacterial flora which reside in the humid parts of garments.

Drytek has a nominal weight which is lighter than water and a reduced mass compared to an item of clothing created using standard material. This also maintains its ability to control body temperature even when wet.

Drytek fabric is Eco-friendly, it is certified STANDARD 100 BY OEKO-TEX®, the highest safety standard that guarantees your health and respect for the environment
